    There is a place to write bottled date on label corner, but it says instead "see cap". You look on cap and written 2020x (the x probably means a shitty year - yes, 2020 :P). Crazy amounts of tiny bubble carbonation, very active. Amber, orange colour with golden highlights and very tiny particles through it. Fairly creamy, warm off-white head, great retention and some creamy-foamy lacing. Alcoholic, warming nose with some nice spices, orange notes and Belgian yeasts, sugars. Hints of bananas from light wheat, also sliding in the taste. Pretty rich with the alcohol burning the sweetness. The dry finish helps, and the lingering is nicer because of this, than the beginning. Even some decent notes of dark fruits in there. Silky, oily mouthfeel at the start. This one becomes much better as it breathes. A nice warming experience on this very cold winter night.

    Pours hazy apricot with a thick eggshell head. Aroma delivers fresh malt, fruity and subtle butterscotch notes. Flavor offers fruity, yeasty and fresh malt tones, though the butterscotch seems to disappear. Mouthfeel presents decent fizz and body. Happy any old holiday!

    @ Kerstbierfestival Essen (B) - Dark yellow, off-white lacing. Light aroma, strong barley taste. Fruit tones in aftertaste, as well as some bitterness. (Essen 201612)

    Gift from my wife, 330 cl bottle pours an attractive orange with a quick burst of carbonation and minimal head. Alcohol forward aromas with a standard Belgian funk present. Incredibly smooth and full bodied with nary a hint of the high ABV. Notes of Belgian candy sugar, raisins, plums, and bready malt. There's nothing like an impeccable Belgian, and stille nacht certainly is tremendous. Slowly sip to notice the nuances as it warms, one to revisit again and again.

    330 ml bottle, from Ølbutikken, Copenhagen. ABV is 12%. Deep golden colour, some floaties. Huge white head. Strong and complex aroma of spices, Belgian ale yeast, brown kandij sugar, caramel, oak and alcohol. Very sweet flavour, but still with a refreshing character. Strong and complex fruity and spicy notes, hints of oak, decent hops in the finish. Very enjoyable.

    99 on RB a bit overrated. it's a better than average ale, fairly standard for the bsa style. spice and fruit and alcohol in the nose. yeasty flavor, with plums and other fruits, with a sweet, dry yeasty finish. alcohol shows a little, but this is a good golden ale overall.

    12% ABV- Alcohol somewhat hidden for this strength. I didn't care for this as much as some of the other true Belgian's at the top of my list, but def. a good sample nonetheless. Flavor is on the sweeter side, maybe more honey and malts with less fruity tartness. Hop balance was ok, but could use a little more. I kind of messed up by sampling half first, then pouring the 2nd half in a glass where most of the sediment was. Gotta pour this out all at once...I would say a wine glass or something like that. Mouthfeel is very bubbly like champagne. Curious to try the Stille Nacht Reserve though after this.

    The aroma is lovely, dark and deep with the promise of honey, spices and caramel malt. Spiced mead comes to mind. The spice aromas are entirely without the cliched gingerbread houses of lesser winter beers and tend toward good, fruity peppercorns. The malt packs more fruit than a farmer’s market, as the beer chimes in with apricots, plums, grapes and bright, sweet lemons. The malt flavor is fairly sweet, more rich than sugary, with big, dry Belgian yeast notes keeping things in check. There’s a marvelous alcohol presence that would be best enjoyed seated by a smoldering hearth late at night.

    I think this is a Christmas seasonal but I'm not too sure. It pours a cloudy orange colour, white head, with a yeasty, spicy aroma dominated by some light fruit and weak malt. The flavour is complex with a bitter spicy finish. There is certainly a malty character in the taste but it's mild.
